How to Drop the performance (S5) S24:E1 Sat · Inspirations for Your Life

0:23
Well, hey, everyone.
0:24
Welcome to Inspirations for Your Life.
0:27
It is so great to be with you
0:29
here on the Inspirations for Your Life show.
0:32
It is Saturday, June 6th, 2026.
0:35
What does that mean?
0:36
Besides it being a Saturday, that's the day
0:38
we start a brand new week.
0:40
We go from a Saturday and we finish
0:41
up on a Friday for our Sunday week.
0:44
Great to be with you.
0:45
We start a brand new master topic that
0:47
we kick off.
0:47
If this is your first time, ladies and
0:49
gentlemen, joining us, I want to take the
0:51
opportunity to say welcome and thank you.
0:54
If you've been here one time, five times,
0:56
ten times, fifteen, a hundred, or even more,
0:58
I'd like to take this opportunity to say
1:00
not only thank you, but I'd also like
1:01
to say the words welcome back.
1:03
I really do appreciate people that enjoy the
1:05
quality content of the show that I produce
1:08
and want to make that part of their
1:10
daily lives.
1:11
If you guys are thirsty, hungry, or what
1:13
have you, feel free to go grab something,
1:15
whether that's sour water, whether that's another beverage,
1:18
soda, or another snack, whatever it is, feel
1:22
free to grab that and come on back
1:24
to the show.
1:25
Don't forget to check out, ladies and gentlemen,
1:27
BelieveMeAchieved.com and where my amazing, inspiring, and
1:30
courageous, which you do, incidentally, after the show
1:33
is over.
1:34
All right, guys, let's kick this show off.
1:36
In case you didn't know who I am,
1:37
oh, allow me to introduce myself.
1:39
My name is John Seymourly.
1:41
I am a serial entrepreneur.
1:43
I'm an engineer, marketing specialist, video producer, podcast
1:46
host, coach, keynote speaker, graduate student, passionate lifelong
1:50
learner, and now I'm so grateful to be
1:53
a published author.
1:55
Really grateful for that, ladies and gentlemen.
1:57
And just to let you know, in this
1:59
particular episode of Inspirations for Your Life, we
2:03
kick off, as I said, a brand new
2:05
weekly theme, Compassion Over Perfect.
2:09
Incidentally, this is series five.
2:11
Me, we're on the air our fifth year,
2:14
and it is show number 24.
2:17
This is episode number one.
2:19
And today's specific focus is how to drop
2:21
the performance.
2:22
I know so many people out there, they
2:24
want to just perform, but they do it
2:28
for the wrong reasons.
2:29
They do it to get attention.
2:30
If you're tired of feeling like you have
2:32
to be on all the time, impress everyone
2:37
in the room and turn every moment into
2:39
content.
2:41
This one is for you.
2:42
I love creating content, but there are some
2:44
times, ladies and gentlemen, when I unplug and
2:47
that's not content that I share.
2:49
Why you don't need to impress everyone to
2:52
be valuable.
2:54
How perfectionism is really a fear in a
2:58
nice outfit.
2:59
And I think these are things that a
3:01
lot of people don't understand and they don't
3:03
realize what they mean.
3:06
But they're important, guys.
3:08
They're important.
3:09
And why is it that your worth is
3:12
not a productivity scoreboard?
3:15
Well, your value comes down to who you
3:18
are, right?
3:19
And what you deliver.
3:21
But it's not about trying to compete with
3:24
someone.
3:25
Because you see, we're all at different levels
3:27
in life.
3:27
And I think the sooner we get that,
3:29
the sooner we actually level up.
3:32
So, ladies and gentlemen, why do people connect
3:34
more to what's real than what's flawless?
3:37
Well, there's a lot of flawless stuff out
3:39
there over the internet, right?
3:40
There's all kinds of scams.
3:42
There's all kinds of, let's say, fake information.
3:47
And a lot of people believe these get
3:51
-rich-quick schemes or they believe these people
3:53
that have these amazing things.
3:56
Like, there's this one guy, I'm not going
3:57
to mention his name, but you probably know
3:59
who I mean.
4:00
He rents cars to impress people.
4:03
I'm not going to do that.
4:05
He rents cars by the hour to impress
4:08
people, to show people how successful he is.
4:11
He doesn't own any of these cars.
4:13
So, he might rent like two, three, four,
4:15
five cars to show everybody how much wealth
4:17
he has.
4:19
That's bragging.
4:21
And that is not cool, guys.
4:23
So, how do you step back from always
4:26
performing and start actually living?
4:28
I think the reason and the understanding here
4:31
is that we step back.
4:33
And when we step back and when we
4:35
acknowledge our accomplishments, we're going to find that
4:38
other people do it too.
4:39
Of course, it's nice when other people will
4:42
acknowledge it first, but we need to be
4:44
the ones that acknowledge our performance, our milestones
4:49
first.
4:49
That's where it is.
4:50
If we can't be happy with who we
4:52
are, then how the heck is someone else
4:54
going to be happy, right?
4:55
But do it for ourselves first, not for
4:57
others, right?
4:58
You're going to hear powerful practical reminders that
5:01
you probably will like.
5:02
Like, you're allowed to show the unedited version
5:06
of your life.
5:07
So, I do what I call backstage scenes
5:11
of shows and stuff like that.
5:13
Do I record my whole life?
5:15
No, but I do record some personal things
5:17
like what goes into a show and some
5:19
of the challenges.
5:20
And we have this new thing we started
5:22
on YouTube not too long ago.
5:25
And it's a pretty cool thing if you
5:27
ask me.
5:29
We have the John C.
5:30
Morley Serial Entrepreneur channel, which you're probably familiar
5:33
with.
5:34
And it's actually under the brand, ladies and
5:37
gentlemen, of JCM Academy, in case you didn't
5:40
know what that is.
5:42
So, the playlist that you actually want to
5:44
go to, because that's probably the best place
5:46
for you to really understand this, is this
5:50
specific playlist.
5:51
And the playlist is this, The Drain-to
5:54
-Driven Author Journey and Book Moment.
5:59
That's where you want to go.
6:02
And that's where I share a lot of
6:04
backstage stuff, stuff that I don't put on
6:07
stage.
6:08
So, you're allowed to show the unedited version
6:10
of your life.
6:10
And, you know, today I was leaving on
6:14
a trip.
6:15
And, you know, first thing people say, oh
6:17
my gosh, don't shoot from an airport, right?
6:19
Nothing wrong with that.
6:20
But the thing is, when you shoot, realize
6:24
why you're doing it.
6:24
You're not doing it to impress people.
6:26
You're doing it to be authentic.
6:28
And I think when you're authentic, you're like,
6:30
hey, you know, I get this guy.
6:31
I get this lady.
6:32
Like, this person's living a normal life.
6:35
And these are things that show that you
6:37
are living a life like that.
6:40
Performing all the time leads straight to emotional,
6:43
guess what?
6:44
What is that word?
6:45
I wrote a big book on it.
6:46
Burnout.
6:49
Because you're having to impress this one.
6:52
You're raising the stakes with all kinds of
6:55
energy.
6:55
And it is so darn exhausting, guys.
6:58
It's exhausting.
7:00
And you're not going to be able to
7:01
keep up with this your entire life.
7:03
You're going to be like, you know what,
7:04
John, something has to give.
7:05
I can't do this anymore.
7:07
Right?
7:08
So, stop trying to perform.
7:11
I love performing.
7:12
But when I perform, it's not to impress
7:15
an audience.
7:17
It's to come out there and be authentic.
7:19
It's to just be John.
7:21
When I come out to a stage, whether
7:23
there's a few people or there's thousands or
7:25
millions, I come out there and I tell
7:28
my story.
7:29
Just like I'm talking to one of you.
7:31
There might be thousands or more in the
7:33
room, but I'm having a one-on-one
7:35
conversation with you personally.
7:38
And that's how my trainings go.
7:40
That's how my author talks go.
7:44
A bad day does not equal a bad
7:46
life.
7:46
You know, let me see if I can
7:48
talk to you about this.
7:49
So, maybe you've had a time in your
7:51
life when you got up in the morning.
7:53
And maybe you, I don't know, maybe you
7:56
did something like you broke a or you
7:59
stubbed your toe.
8:00
Right?
8:02
You could have done any one of these
8:04
things.
8:06
And the thing is, when this happens, of
8:08
course, there's that shock moment.
8:09
Right?
8:10
Maybe there's a little bit of discomfort.
8:12
But the important thing is to dismiss it.
8:14
Okay.
8:15
I stubbed my toe.
8:16
Yes, that hurt.
8:18
The rest of my day is going to
8:19
be great, though.
8:20
In fact, the discomfort is already starting to
8:22
leave my foot.
8:23
So, that's how it works.
8:25
When we change our mindset, our receptors start
8:28
to respond to that.
8:29
I know it sounds really bizarre, but our
8:32
mind controls what we perceive.
8:35
Okay?
8:35
So, a bad day doesn't equal a bad
8:37
life.
8:37
And if something's not going the way you
8:39
want, no need to harp on it.
8:40
Just say, hey, okay, that wasn't a great
8:43
start to the day.
8:45
The rest of my day is going to
8:46
be awesome.
8:47
Right?
8:47
You probably had those situations.
8:49
There could be numerous ones.
8:50
It could be getting fired.
8:52
And I'm like, oh, my gosh, what's going
8:53
to happen?
8:53
The rest of my day is going to
8:54
be great.
8:54
Or the rest of my life is going
8:55
to be great.
8:55
Maybe that was a thing that was supposed
8:56
to happen to me.
8:58
Or it could be something like, you know,
9:00
you're in a store.
9:02
And somebody says something to you.
9:04
And it wasn't nice.
9:05
I was actually somewhere one time.
9:08
And somebody said to me, could you keep
9:09
it down?
9:11
And I wasn't even that loud.
9:13
But I said, so what, to myself?
9:15
I was courteous and respectful.
9:16
But I said, the rest of my day
9:17
is going to be great.
9:18
And it was.
9:20
So that's the whole thing.
9:22
Just because you have a bad moment doesn't
9:26
mean it's going to be a bad day.
9:29
Right?
9:30
But if you put the preface in your
9:32
mind, oh, my gosh, the rest of my
9:34
day is going to be horrible.
9:36
This is going to kill me.
9:37
Right?
9:38
Maybe you broke an heirloom or something like
9:42
a Yadro or something that was special in
9:45
the family.
9:46
And yeah, there was some sentimental emotion to
9:48
it.
9:49
But, you know, once you dismiss it, I
9:50
broke it.
9:51
The rest of my day is going to
9:53
be OK.
9:53
OK.
9:54
And I think once we know that and
9:57
we get over that fact, oh, my gosh,
9:59
like it's going to be OK.
10:02
Maybe you had a situation.
10:04
I don't know.
10:04
Maybe somebody broke it.
10:05
Maybe you got robbed, unfortunately.
10:08
And now the rest of your day is
10:10
horrible.
10:10
But, you know, the rest of your day
10:11
is going to be great because now you're
10:13
aware of it.
10:14
Now you're going to get a security system.
10:16
Now you're going to do what you need
10:17
to do.
10:18
Now you're going to stop living in fear.
10:20
And you're going to start living life at
10:23
the true core.
10:25
See, a bad life happens because people put
10:29
the actions in over and over again.
10:31
I'm not this.
10:32
I'm not that.
10:33
I'm not enough.
10:34
Of course, if you keep telling yourself that,
10:36
sure, you're going to believe that.
10:38
So if you tell yourself, I am enough,
10:39
I am great, I am abundant, I am
10:41
this, I am that, you will be that.
10:45
It's not a light switch.
10:46
It just happens.
10:47
But people get into this rhythm so much
10:49
that they start pulling the little bit of
10:54
success they have and the little bit of
10:55
good down the drain.
10:57
You don't need, ladies and gentlemen, to earn
11:03
rest or broadcast every moment to prove you're
11:07
growing.
11:08
I broadcast and I do stuff because I
11:10
love doing it.
11:11
Do I do it every waking moment of
11:13
the day?
11:13
No.
11:15
Do I spend some time doing it during
11:16
the day?
11:16
Yes.
11:17
But I love sharing those moments.
11:20
But those moments are never to prove to
11:22
anybody anything.
11:23
I don't go record something that I'm getting
11:28
a new car or that I'm buying something
11:30
unless something has to do with tech or
11:32
something like that.
11:33
But I don't do it to boast.
11:35
I don't do it rub anybody's face in
11:37
it.
11:37
And I think a lot of content creators
11:39
do that.
11:40
I do that so that it can help
11:43
the greater good of all concerned.
11:45
And I think that's a very important thing,
11:47
is that when we do it from the
11:49
heart, when we do it with the right
11:51
premise, it works.
11:55
You are allowed, ladies and gentlemen, to exist
11:58
without proving anything to anyone.
12:02
You don't have to prove anything unless you
12:05
want to.
12:08
And that might be hard for some people.
12:10
Like, you know, they always have to be
12:12
right.
12:14
But if you're wrong sometimes and you're humble,
12:18
it'll be easy.
12:20
So like I said to you, when maybe
12:23
you stub your toe or you break something
12:26
or maybe you burn your hand or you
12:28
put it under hot water or something like
12:29
that, and you start with, oh my gosh,
12:32
yeah, OK, that moment.
12:34
Now the rest of my day is going
12:35
to be good.
12:36
I remember being in a situation many years
12:38
ago, probably when I was in my single
12:40
digits, before I was even out of grammar
12:43
school.
12:44
We were down the shore.
12:46
We were in our bungalow.
12:47
We hadn't rebuilt our house yet.
12:49
And this was our summer place.
12:51
My parents bought it like the year I
12:52
was born.
12:54
And the place was all basically all wood,
12:56
was one floor.
12:58
It's the kind of place that had basically
13:01
a concept that there was really no heat.
13:07
We had some kind of basic heat, but
13:09
it wasn't anything great.
13:11
And it was all hot air, blowed heat.
13:15
And so I remember one night we were
13:17
watching TV.
13:19
OK, it was a storm coming, thunder, lightning.
13:22
And during that storm, I turned the TV
13:25
off.
13:26
First, my dad's like, turn the TV off.
13:27
It's not good to be watching TV when
13:32
there's a storm because it could attract.
13:35
Well, we said the same thing to my
13:36
mom.
13:36
She was talking, I think, to my grandmother
13:38
on my dad's side.
13:40
And at the time, that was over an
13:42
hour and a half away where we lived
13:43
up north.
13:45
And so like, mom, get off the phone,
13:47
get off the phone.
13:47
I know, I know.
13:48
I'm talking to grandma.
13:49
We're almost done.
13:50
And within, I'm going to say, less than
13:54
a minute, bang.
13:58
What was that?
14:01
She goes, mom, I think I got to
14:02
call you back.
14:03
She hangs up the phone.
14:06
What was that?
14:08
I think we got hit by lightning.
14:11
And within a few moments, that shock wore
14:16
off.
14:17
We called, actually, 911 to call the responders,
14:27
the fire department.
14:27
We smelled something that was burning.
14:31
We couldn't put our hands out.
14:32
So my dad had had myself, my mom,
14:37
flee over to our neighbors, which is right
14:38
next door.
14:39
And my dad's kind of staying behind, but
14:41
he's getting out of house and waiting for
14:44
the fire department first responders.
14:47
And they did conclude that we were hit.
14:49
So did we worry about storms every time?
14:53
No, but we were cautious.
14:54
We had lightning rods installed on our house.
15:00
And we're a lot more cautious whenever there's
15:03
a storm.
15:03
We get off the phone.
15:05
When we rebuilt our house down there, we
15:06
made sure it had lightning rods built into
15:09
structure.
15:10
Something that was never done back then.
15:14
And to know that that moment didn't change
15:19
our lives in a bad way, it actually
15:22
made it better.
15:22
Because now whenever we're around lightning, thunder, we
15:26
respect it.
15:28
We respect it.
15:29
We could have had this premise that everything's
15:32
going to be bad the rest of our
15:33
life.
15:33
It's not.
15:36
If you're ready, ladies and gentlemen, to breathe,
15:40
log off from the pressure to be perfect.
15:43
I know even my dad wanted me to
15:45
be perfect when I was younger.
15:47
And I was like, I can't do this.
15:49
Until there was a point when my grandmother
15:51
stepped in and said, you know what, Jack,
15:52
you weren't perfect.
15:54
And reconnect with who you are, not just
15:58
what you produce.
16:01
And don't be afraid, ladies and gentlemen, to
16:03
hit play, even if it's not perfect, even
16:09
if you think it's not done.
16:12
It's okay to play that out.
16:16
So compassion was very important.
16:19
And I think a lot of times people
16:21
feel they have to perform because if they
16:23
don't perform, then they're not good.
16:25
They're not a success.
16:26
You don't always have to be performing.
16:29
Let's take athletes for a moment.
16:32
They're on the field, they catch the ball,
16:34
whether it's baseball, basketball, football, whatever it is.
16:39
Well, now we've got the FIFA cup, right?
16:41
The soccer cup, big thing happening in the
16:43
United States of 2026.
16:47
Off the field.
16:48
Okay.
16:49
You don't have to be a performer, but
16:53
a lot of younger athletes believe that the
16:55
only way they've got fame is because they've
16:58
got to perform off the field.
16:59
They don't.
17:02
People I have found respond more to human
17:08
compassion, to kindness, to truth, to authenticity.
17:14
That's what people respond to every single day.
17:19
There are people that go out there, even
17:22
other keynote speakers like myself, but they go
17:24
out there with the concept to perform.
17:26
When I go out there, it's not to
17:28
perform.
17:29
Okay.
17:29
Is it a performance?
17:31
Not really.
17:33
I'm going out there to give a talk,
17:35
to have a conversation with my audience.
17:38
Are there different performances that happen like lights
17:40
and sound?
17:41
Yes, but they don't take away from the
17:45
authenticity, that compassion.
17:48
Okay.
17:49
I never say to somebody, I'm going to
17:51
do a performance.
17:52
If I play the piano, that's a performance.
17:54
This is not a performance.
17:56
This is a conversation.
17:58
This is an author talk.
17:59
This is a keynote.
18:01
This is a workshop.
18:04
They're not performances.
18:06
They're truthful exchanges between myself, the audience, the
18:12
participants, and then their reactions.
18:16
So many people I talk to, especially people
18:19
just getting out of college, feel they need
18:21
to perform all the time.
18:26
You're not on trial 24 seven.
18:30
People feel that if they let their guard
18:32
down for one minute, they're going to lose
18:36
out.
18:39
And I want to say something to that.
18:41
Maybe your work is very competitive.
18:43
I get that, but you got to trust
18:48
sometimes and you've got to be authentic.
18:51
You got to stop performing because you think
18:57
that's going to get the boss attention.
19:00
What's going to get the boss attention is
19:02
the numbers.
19:03
Yes.
19:03
But someone who's authentic, someone who cares about
19:07
the product, the services, and the clients or
19:09
customers you service, everybody talks about numbers.
19:16
Even our own banks, they talk about numbers.
19:20
They want people that are not just tellers
19:23
or universal bankers.
19:24
They want people that are sales sharks.
19:29
What does that mean?
19:31
They want people that are able to bond
19:34
with the clients, to get to know them,
19:36
and to be able to, well, learn from
19:40
them.
19:41
DL Carnegie said something very interesting many years
19:44
ago, and I was fortunate to take his
19:45
class.
19:46
He wasn't around, but I got to take
19:47
it from some other people that put the
19:49
course on.
19:50
And he said, strive to become genuinely interested
19:55
in other people.
19:58
Don't worry about you being interested.
20:00
That's not important.
20:01
Just get interested in other people.
20:06
And you're going to find, if you do
20:07
that, people are going to flip the table
20:10
and they're going to want to become interested
20:13
in you.
20:15
But you see, this doesn't happen with events
20:17
where there's hundreds of people at a networking
20:20
event and people just trying to push off
20:22
carts.
20:24
The concept of quality, the concept of value,
20:29
the concept of integrity, the concept of authenticity,
20:34
it fades.
20:37
And why does it happen?
20:39
Because they feel if you speak to enough
20:41
people, it's a numbers game.
20:43
Yes, sales is a numbers game, but you
20:45
can get a lot more from people when
20:48
you actually care.
20:52
Many times, sales will happen just because of
20:56
a conversation.
20:57
This has happened to me on the plane.
20:59
I don't even know the person just having
21:00
a conversation, not even trying to sell them.
21:03
And bam, they contact me and I'm consulting
21:06
with them.
21:08
I think the reason I love being an
21:10
author so much is that I get to
21:12
tell my truth.
21:13
I get to tell my story.
21:15
I get to tell the world story when
21:17
I read other books as well.
21:19
That's why I like to write nonfiction.
21:23
In case you guys didn't know, fiction is
21:25
fantasy, not real.
21:28
Nonfiction is about truth.
21:32
And why is it people don't tell truth?
21:35
Well, because truth doesn't always sell.
21:37
The main line for journalists and publicists is
21:42
only write or cover it if you know
21:47
it's going to bleed.
21:49
Because if it bleeds, it's going to lead.
21:51
That is a terrible attitude.
21:54
People do it every single day.
21:56
TV, newspaper, magazines.
22:00
I guess the media thinks that if there's
22:07
gossip or there is something that points out
22:11
somebody is bad, then that's going to sell.
22:14
Maybe it does.
22:16
But I ask you a question.
22:18
If it was the reverse, okay, and they
22:22
were the journalists and they found something about
22:25
you, would you want that published?
22:29
I would think not.
22:31
So, I'm going to ask you very nicely,
22:34
everyone, to drop the performance.
22:37
Your life's not a magic show, okay?
22:40
Your life is not a Broadway play every
22:42
day.
22:42
If you're in a player performance and I
22:44
do acting, that's different.
22:46
But every day is not a performance, okay?
22:50
People say life is a game.
22:53
It is a game.
22:54
You have to be strategic.
22:56
But in this kind of game, it's being
22:58
authentic.
22:58
It's not playing poker and trying to hold
23:00
your cart.
23:01
It's being authentic for who you are in
23:04
life and who you choose to show up
23:07
as.
23:08
You see, I was talking to somebody the
23:09
other day and they were saying, you know,
23:11
it matters with what I did for them.
23:13
No, it doesn't.
23:15
You might think it does.
23:17
It comes down to one thing.
23:19
It comes down to how you made them
23:21
feel.
23:22
If what you did didn't make them feel
23:24
a certain way, all you did was just
23:26
open your mouth and basically elicit words.
23:31
So, I say to you, drop the performance.
23:35
And by dropping the performance, I mean actually
23:39
be you.
23:41
So many people I know try to be
23:43
other people.
23:44
Being a content creator and video producer for
23:46
many years as well as an engineer and
23:48
other things, I knew that when I started
23:50
this, it wasn't about copying others.
23:53
It was about being John.
23:54
It was about telling my story from my
23:58
point of view.
24:00
Not somebody else that's got 10 billion views.
24:05
That's not authentic.
24:07
Even if it worked and it got me
24:08
more views, that wouldn't be who I am.
24:12
That would be phony.
24:14
And being a journalist for many years, I
24:16
believe so much in truth.
24:19
I believe so much in integrity.
24:21
So much in compassion.
24:24
But I want to tell you, don't be
24:26
afraid to hit play in your life.
24:29
Don't keep rewinding or erasing and re-recording
24:35
your story.
24:37
Your story is good enough already if it's
24:40
authentic and true.
24:43
Because when you're not afraid to play and
24:47
share that story, that's when magical moments of
24:50
life happen.
24:53
Compassion or perfection.
24:56
Right?
24:57
Everybody wants things to be perfect.
24:59
But maybe you could show a little bit
25:00
of compassion.
25:01
Those will show compassion to you.
25:03
As I say to you guys, drop the
25:05
performance.
25:07
This isn't Broadway.
25:08
Even if you are on Broadway, your life
25:11
is not Broadway.
25:12
Okay?
25:14
I don't care if you're a singer, you're
25:15
an actor, and I do acting too.
25:17
Your daily life is not a performance.
25:22
It's not a facade.
25:24
I was telling the story about Mr. Rogers
25:25
a few days ago and how on one
25:27
of the episodes, he actually showed the truth
25:30
of his television studio.
25:32
And I was blown away learning that what
25:36
we didn't see was actually the cameras.
25:38
And the whole set, the whole right side
25:42
that we'd see on TV, which was actually
25:45
nothing.
25:46
It was just a wall.
25:49
Well, no wall.
25:51
It was just a bunch of people there
25:52
with cameras.
25:54
And it was a stage.
25:57
It was a facade.
25:58
So I ask you this, ladies and gentlemen,
26:00
do you want to create a facade in
26:02
your life or do you want to create
26:04
truth?
26:05
A facade may seem to give you a
26:08
leg up for the moment and even put
26:11
some dollars in your pocket, but it won't
26:14
last forever.
26:15
And when people learn your real truth, you
26:19
will lose followers.
26:20
You'll lose friends.
26:21
You'll lose investors.
26:22
You'll lose clients even quicker than you've got
26:26
them.
26:27
Nobody wants a facade.
26:28
Nobody wants a performer.
26:31
Somebody wants people to be authentic.
26:34
Somebody wants people to tell the truth.
26:39
Somebody wants people to stop being that performer
26:42
and be somebody that's actually going to make
26:46
a difference in their own lives and other
26:49
people's lives.
26:50
And I think that's a very, I think
26:52
that's a very, very hard thing for a
26:54
lot of people to understand.
26:55
You can do this ladies and gentlemen, you
26:57
absolutely can do this.
26:59
I'm going to say right now, drop the
27:02
performance.
27:03
Let me say it again.
27:04
Drop the performance.
27:06
Drop the performance.
27:08
Don't worry if every word isn't perfect.
27:12
Don't worry if every article you write is
27:15
incorrectly perfect or every email you draft is
27:18
not the best.
27:22
People will understand if it comes from the
27:26
heart.
27:27
If it comes from truth, you'll get compassion.
27:30
Are there going to be hecklers out there?
27:32
Sure, there are.
27:33
Okay.
27:34
That's part of life, being tough, being strong.
27:38
And the people that respect and understand that
27:41
will be attracted to.
27:43
The other people, well, they're just looking for
27:47
a show.
27:48
If they want a show, they can go
27:49
to Broadway.
27:50
They can go to PayPal or they could
27:51
go any other place.
27:53
Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you have a
27:54
great rest of your day, a great rest
27:55
of your evening.
27:56
We'll see you real soon.
